The city of Kera was half-destroyed. No one knew what was happening before the battle ended. The citizens returned to their senses to witness a destruction they could not understand. The only thing left inside the battlefield was the giant runic dome.

"Does that belong to Ascent?" asked a member of the crowd as they gathered. "What are they doing inside the city? They should be allied to the new crown, right?"

After Sier and Nira ruled the kingdom together, Ascent was declared allies of the crown. Their residence close to Kera was known to all. Therefore, no one thought it was odd when they appeared inside the city.

No one understood what was happening until Ascent posted a public announcement to explain the situation. Two calamities had attacked the city, but Arthur and his guild stopped them. No one doubted their words since over a hundred thousand people were hypnotized.
